On this Independence Day weekend, a reminder that the 1st US civil war was the Revolution, which had Brits fighting Brits. And there were lots of Loyalist colonists opposing Patriots, tho few Loyalists fought. (Plurality of colonists were neutral.) Lots of other smaller, localized US rebellions too.

Useful to recall that the revolution (and the second, current constitution) were highly controversial, far from consensual.
